Top of the world studio nestled in the rock

Queensberry

Guests can take in the views of the mountain from the balcony, which also has outdoor furniture. For added privacy, the accommodation has a private entrance and soundproofing.

The nearest airport is Queenstown Airport, 81 km from the guest house. This place feels like in the middle of nowhere and is the perfect place for a day/night off! It feels a little strange to sleep in a glass box without any curtains (which are not necessary as there is nothing around) but when you wake up in the morning you understand why this is the case. I arrived in the dark, so I could only see the view in the morning but the night sky up there is amazing too. Nearly no light pollution and the milky way nearly jumps in your eyes. There must be beautiful sun rise/set too but it was cloudy when I was there.

Lakeview Terrace Accommodation

Cromwell

The unit is air conditioned and includes a terrace with an outdoor dining area as well as a flat-screen TV with streaming services. The guest house offers bed linen, towels and ironing service.

Guests at the guest house can enjoy cycling nearby, or make the most of the garden. A really great room, beautiful decorated, modern and very comfy. It also comes with a very nice bathroom and a lovely host ;-). Everything was spotlessly clean, the location is really quiet and I've enjoyed the small outside seating area.

Dunstan Times

Clyde

Dunstan Times is set in Clyde. Located 2.9 km from Two Paddocks, the property provides a garden and free private parking.

The Dunstan Times has a patio and garden views features a living room, a flat-screen TV, an equipped kitchenette with a microwave and a fridge, and a bathroom with a shower. We loved this property so much. Right in the middle of Clyde, in fact, right on the footpath in a beautifully renovated timber cottage that we believe used to house the newspaper, the Dunstan times. So tastefully done, everything you could need for a comfortable stay inside the unit, with a bonus of a lovely little veranda out the back soaked in sunshine in the afternoons.
